has anyone had to help any elderly relative with the million scams they've downloaded from google's app store? google does not give a shit about helping regular people avoid scams, it's all just bullshit.

not even to mention the h1b indian kickback stuff that's about to hit them. couldn't happen to a nicer company.

Helping elderly with scams: Yes, today, with Google Chrome. They got tricked into allowing desktop notifications and they look super legit on Microsoft Windows, styled like antivirus notifications and everything, covering the browser UI to get to the settings. I don't see how using closed software helps here

  • The demographic of people being scammed in the primary regions impacted typically do banking with their phones and not a PC.
